wAFFLE-IRON HANDLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 427,835, dated May 13, 1890.

Application ned December 4, 1889.

.To all whom t may concern.-

Be it known that I, ERNEST H. CHESTER- TON, ot Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented a new and Improved Vatl'le-Iron I-Iandle, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to waffle-iron handles, the object of the invention being to provide a handle which may be quickly and readily applied to the handle-socket of the iron; and to the end named the invention consists, essentially, of a double-armed spring strip, the ends of the arms being arranged to lit within the iron sockets, one orboth of said arms being formed with projections adapted to bear against shoulders formed on said iron sockets, all as will be hereinafter fully eX- plained, and specifically pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar figures of reference indicateY corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure l is a side view of a waffle-iron, representing the same as it appears when provided with my improved handle. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of one of the handles. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of a modified form of handle. litigeE is a detail sectional view of one socket and the handle engaged therewith.

In the drawings, I0 represents a waffle-iron, each section of the iron being formed with a socket l1, having shoulders 2, such sockets being adapted to receive the ends of the handle. The handle is preferably form'ed from a strip of spring-steel l2, that is bent at 3 and formed with a projection 4t and shoulders 6,

o preventing the handle from pressing too far inward.

Instead of a single spring-strip such as shown in Figs. I and 2, I might employ ahandle formed with members 5 5, that are connected by a head 7, upon which there is formed a threaded stem 8, adapted to tit within a wooden handle 13, one or both of the handle members being formed with a projection 9 and With shoulders 6, as shown. This handle is applied in the same manner, the two members being pressed together prior to their introduction into the handle ends of the sockets l1.

Such a handle as the one described will not char or burn, may be readily applied, and is withal simple, cheap, and durable.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. A handle for waftle-irons, consisting in two connected members or arms, the outer ends of which are normally sprung apart, provided with shoulders, and a laterally-extending projection at the free end of one ot' said arms beyond the shoulder, substantially as set forth.

2. A handle for Watlie-irons, consisting of a strip of spring metal bent upon itself to form two arms normally sprung apart at their free ends, a shoulder 6 near the tree end of each arm, and a laterally-extending projection 4 at the free end of one of said arms, substantially as set forth.

3. The combination, with a waffle-iron having sockets ll, each provided with a shoulder 2, of handles, each consisting in two connected members or arms adapted to enter said sockets, one arm of each handle having a lateral projection to engage the shoulder 2, substantially as set forth.
